Impact of Resident and Attending Surgeon Training Level on Free Tissue Transfer Ischemia Time and Complications.

Background:  Microsurgical free tissue transfer has become an essential method for reconstruction of complex surgical defects, making the level of training an important factor to consider. There is little published regarding the impact of training level on microsurgical outcomes. This study investigates microsurgical free tissue transfer ischemia time and postoperative complications based on resident and attending surgeon experience level.

Craniosynostosis Associated With Novel TUBG1 Mutation (NM_001070.4:c.821C>T) (p.Thr274Ile).

TUBG1, a tubulin gene, plays an important role in neurodevelopment. Here we describe a case of a novel TUGB1 mutation (NM_001070.4:c.

Tumescent technique for split-thickness skin graft donor sites: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is widely used for reconstructive wound management. This review aimed to use level I evidence to determine if tumescent techniques were safe and effective compared to other interventions for STSG donor sites. It was hypothesized that tumescent techniques were safe and effective for STSG donor sites.
